Translation
1 Let me cast on you(m.) a spell driving out all diseases,
2 which Enlilbanda, the one deciding all fates, placed (for me).
3 Let Ea cast on you(m.) a life-bestowing spell,
5 Let Ningirimma, mistress of spells, cast on you(m.) a spell.
6 Ningirimma, the mistress of spells, has cast a spell:
7 the patient is getting up; with her incantation, he grieves no more.
8–9 Let Ninkarrak bind you with her hands so gentle, let Damu remove your suffering.
10–11 As for murdering bile, Lamaštu, the Snatcher, a dog bite, a human tooth – may Annunītu trample them with her incantation.
12 Adad, Sumukan, Nisaba, Šamaš, Nāru, and Huršānu,
13 the holy gods, may they purify you(m.)!
14 With the authority of Enlil, may they purify you –
15 the twin-brother and twin-sister, Sin’s children, Šamaš and Ištar.
16 The gossipy person, the enraged woman, the restless man, the sorceresses, and the sneering man,
17 or the person rejected by (his personal) god – should (one of these) be angry with you,
18–19 may the Lord of the Apsû, the pure exorcist of the gods cast on you a spell that you cannot unknot.
20 May it convey your agony to the Netherworld immediately.
21 I have cast on you(m.) a spell driving away all diseases.
